It is our care for the helpless, our practice of lovingkindness, that brands us in the eyes of many of our opponents. 'Only look,' they say, 'look how they love one another' (they themselves being given over to mutual hatred). 'Look how they are prepared to die for one another' (they themselves being readier to kill each other). Thus had this saying become a fact, 'Hereby shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.'

INGREDIENTS

2	lb	Fresh asparagus
1/4	lb	Butter
1/2	c	Flour
2	c	Milk
		Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
1	ds	Nutmeg
3		Egg yolks
1/4	lb	Grated Swiss cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

Select a pan in which the asparagus will be able to lie flat. Add 1/2 inch
water & bring to a boil. Wash asparagus thoroughly. Place in the boiling
water; cover & cook 10 minutes. Melt the butter in a separate saucepan over
low heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux. Add milk & simmer 10 minutes,
stirring constantly. Preheat broiler. When asparagus is done, drain &
remove gently, so as not to break the tender tips, to a casserole dish.
Keep warm. When milk-roux mixture has cooked 10 minutes, season with salt,
pepper & nutmeg. Remove from heat & blend in egg yolks thoroughly. Pour
sauce over asparagus. Sprinkle with cheese & place under broiler only until
cheese turns golden brown.
